It's a divine work of art. Greatest masterpiece of 20th century prose. Towers above the rest of Joyce's writing. Noble originality, unique lucidity of thought and style. Molly's monologue is the weakest chapter in the book. Love it for its lucidity and precision.

Isn't this novel scene as sexist by some feminists though?
Who is /lit/'s favourite female author?
That's like asking me what my favorite episode of Teen Titans is. I'm sure I'd have one if I really bothered to watch many of them, but it'd still be meaningless information about literal nothing.
BEAUVOIR is the most 4chan of female writers and I'm not even being ironic.

Across the Nightingale Floor is the first book in the Tales of the Otori series.

Anyone seen this? The Guardian is running a lit prize with voting open to the public. Obviously authors are voting for their own book multiple times.

Also, what do people think of literary prizes in general?
Hey, it's me, Mr. Guard. We have no money left for a committee so let's just dump the whole thing on the internet! Let's be extra lazy and even ask for reviews.
Next up: let's just deliver empty pages and pens to our readers, let them write their own paper.
>>8363357
they're shit.
>over 100 books
there cant possibly be that many books that deserve nomination. theres probably 30, maybe less. This is just following a slew of "diversity" and "my fave wasnt nominated" innanet articles about the manbooker which is almost as bad, except they have the balls to restrain their long list.
Why is Moore's Jerusalem on a public vote list when it's not been published yet?
Why did I even click that?
Is this a good book if I wanna get into Epictetus? And also, if someone has it, is the ''handbook'' part the same as Enchiridion? I don't wanna buy Enchiridion too if it's the same thing.
>>8363340
Yes that is all of the surviving work of Epictetus, and some of the best shit ever written. As you go through it, check your understanding with YouTube lectures.
>>8363345
Thank, lad.
>>8363340
Enchiridion is Greek for "thing in the hand." Hence, Handbook.

/lit/, I'm not that much of a reader (besides reading weeb shit), but I need something to distract my mind (suffering from anxiety), and I'm tired of just watching TV all day and playing vidya
Anyway, I've read a few books here and there, favorite one I've read so far is Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.
What books do you guys recommend?
I'd like a cool sci fi novel, or something, just whatever is fine.

I was told that P&V were overrated, and since I already owned a Penguin Dostoyevsky book (NFU), I went with this version.
Would you trust someone who can't speak fluent Russian to translate a Russian novel?
Then why would you trust Richard Pevear?
P&V is actually quite good

I've read this edition, it's good
